Michael Moore is so full of sh*t. I'm a democrat (in most of my ideals) but he's just such a manipulative *ssh*le. Pick cause of the day, do interviews, edit them with voiceovers to make people look bad as you pander to the moral majority, publish and eat.

Sorry, let me dumb this down for ya. Michael Moore uses editing tricks to make people look stupid, and then he asks them loaded questions like "Do you ENJOY eating babies?" and is generally a douchebag.

He is stupid, but I have to give him credit for at least attempting to bring some imporatant issues to the public. You wont hear any real coverage on the news about the government's involvement in 9/11 or how the country was completely robbed of it's wealth.

It's a funny thing about most people who hold this opinion, that MM deceives with slick editing. I always ask them to provide a single example of a quote he's taken out of context. The debate usually ends there.

I should have been more specific-- it's mostly about the people who argue that in face to face conversation with me without really knowing what they're talking about. I'm not even necessarily trying to say that MM's not guilty of that sort of thing, but that the vast majority of people who make that claim in my experience can't even back it up with a single reference.

Well I've hardly done a case study in his work, but remember Bowling for Columbine? He goes to a gun spokeperson's house (Charlton Heston) with a picture of a girl who was killed by a firearm and asks for an apology or an admittance of guilt. Since he enjoys gun ownership, anyone who abuses the privilege is his fault, apparently. That's a f*cking douchebag thing to do. Should we send the president of Black + Decker a box full of fingers that got cut off by their products?

I think he's a little too outragey and sensationalistic, in the manner of Keith Olbermann's HOW-DARE-YOU-SIR's™, but most often his message is spot-on. Of course somewhere in a parallel universe, instead of the O'Reilly Factor there's a daily hour-long show devoted to his ranting-- but god help me if I'd ever watch that.

As much as I am not a fan of Moore he is still way more factual than anybody on Fox News. So it's a mistake to equate the two. I just find it interesting how people are so much quicker to attack this messenger than they are the people who are usually the focus of his movies and who’s decisions and corrupted logic that does have an impact on their lives. Maybe if people shared the same disdain for the good ol’ boys on Wall Street we wouldn’t be in such a perilous situation now.

The moment he juxtaposed the KKK and the NRA together (bowling for columbine's animated part) he lost all credibility. Anyone can tell you that the early efforts of teh NRA were to combat the KKK by selling army surplus weapons to blacks and support the freedman's second amendment rights.

This may be the most civil Michael Moore debate I've seen on the internet in a while, much less the endless fountain of WHARRGARBL that is YTMND. Regardless, I find BfC to be one of the most widely misunderstood movies, even by raging liberals, as nobody seems to notice that the movie's whole point revolves around the fear culture that thrives in the US. Here's a decent angle on the whole thing: http://www.burntorangereport.com/archives/000384.html

wtf? No one would act rightwing because it's cool or some sh*t. What a terrible comment. Go blog about it on the Daily Kos with the other crazies if you're offended by people not liking your propagandist idol.
